Railway Herald
Working a Bristol Phillps Marsh to Reading TMD working is Class 166 No. 166207. These trains do not normally run as far as Westbury. Nore do they normally use the Trowbridge Line (seen here at Heywood). The working was the result of the Reading Station closure in early 2015 and the need to refuel and service the units. Refueling at Bristol instead of Reading. The units had worked a service to Westbury, (as HSTs couldn't work the Newbury line so turbos were extended to start/terminate at Westbury) and then ran ECS to Bristol. Its seen on the return direct to Reading working.
